Lemon strawberry bars are a delicious treat that strikes the perfect balance between zesty citrus and sweet, luscious berries. In this blog post, I will share the best time to find strawberries for baking and some essential…
I love lemons and lemon-flavored desserts. I recently made these lemon-lime cookie bars, which were a huge hit. Also, I’ve previously shared 5 of my favorite lemon recipes that I’d make again. Although I’ve made lemon cookies before, I’ve never made lemon shortbread cookies, but it’s something I’ve wanted to try. I’m such a fan…
One of my favorite flavors is the lemon lime combination. I absolutely love the tart flavor. It’s even better if it’s sweet and tart, which is why these lemon lime cookie bars are one of my new favorite recipes. The best part is that this is literally such a simple recipe. Even if you’re not…
I had a few lemons and limes on hand and I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I’ve made many lemon recipes on my blog over the years, but I have never tried a lemon tart. Since I also had limes, I decided to try making a lemon lime tart from scratch. I absolutely…
The other day, I received several bottles of Risata Moscato wine. It is a sweet white wine that has citrusy notes, so I decided I’d try to create a cocktail with it. I wanted to create a sangria margarita recipe because a classic margarita is one of my favorite drinks, and Cinco De Mayo is…
If you follow my blog at all, you know I love to bake. It’s therapeutic and calms me. I also happen to love sweets and so do my kids. Although I’ve baked a lot of recipes on the blog over the years, I can’t believe I’ve never made baked donuts. Ironically, one of my all-time…
I love baking, especially when I have fresh citrus in my backyard! One thing I absolutely love about SoCal (and there are many) is the fresh fruit. The citrus here is darn good. Since my house actually has a lemon tree, I love getting to find new lemon recipes to try each spring. That’s why…
I’m a genius. No really. Well, not really. But these strawberry lemon sugar cookies make me feel like a genius. I had no idea how amazing dried strawberries would be in a lemon sugar cookie recipe. These are amazing. You need to make them now. It’s the height of strawberry season. Every time I’m at…
How are your New Years resolutions going? One of mine was definitely about prioritizing my health and eating better. Thus, although I wantmy favorite lemon bars to make , I thought it was time to try a lighter version. That’s where these keto lemon bars come in. When I was searching for a lighter and healthier…
Last week, I mentioned how excited I am to have a lemon tree in our yard. I shared 5 of my favorite lemon recipes, and I’ve been contemplating what to make next. When I saw this glazed lemon cookies recipe, I knew it was something I wanted to try. I’m such a fan of a…
Moving back to California, one of the things I looked most forward to was all of the produce. I had no idea that I would actually find a lemon tree, with ripe lemons, in my yard! The first day we arrived, my kids were super excited to see the vibrant yellow lemons hanging, very ripely,…

It was the drink I craved continuously during my pregnancies. I especially love it in the summer when it’s 110 (Phoenix gets mighty hot!). Simply Lemonade® invited me to create a drink recipe, so…
The day before I left to come home from Paris, I realized I hadn’t gotten my husband any souvenirs. It’s not like forgot about him, it’s that he not really into ‘stuff’ and I know he wouldn’t be very excited about a Paris t-shirt. On my leisurely walk home from Notre Dame, I popped in this…
I’ve mentioned my obsession with all things lemon before. During both of my pregnancies, I craved lemonade, which is odd since it’s not a drink I usually choose. Sure, it’s yummy, but I would almost always order an ice tea or diet coke over a lemonade. But while I was pregnant, I drooled over that…

I never really imagined creating my own skincare products, but after seeing DIY body scrub after DIY soap on Pinterest,…
